SAfm — There has been a marked increase in the demand for training material on how to manufacture coffins and caskets since the lockdown. That's according to Peter Louw, of the SA Coffin Training School, based in Boksburg on Gauteng's East Rand. Louw says the increased number of deaths due to the Covid-19 pandemic has also led to a high demand for funeral services, as well as burial space.
